More quotes by Charles Baudelaire
If the poet has pursued a moral objective, he has diminished his poetic force.
Charles Baudelaire
It would perhaps be nice to be alternately the victim and the executioner.
Charles Baudelaire
I can barely conceive of a type of beauty in which there is no Melancholy.
Charles Baudelaire
Comme l'imagination a cre e le monde, elle le gouverne. Because imagination created the world, it governs it.
Charles Baudelaire
I am bored in France because everyone resembles Voltaire.
Charles Baudelaire
The unique and supreme voluptuousness of love lies in the certainty of committing evil. And men and women know from birth that in evil is found all sensual delight.
Charles Baudelaire
A book is a garden, a party, a company by the way.
Charles Baudelaire
Every idea is endowed of itself with immortal life, like a human being. All created form, even that which is created by man, is immortal. For form is independent of matter: molecules do not constitute form.
Charles Baudelaire
What I say is that the supreme and singular joy of making love resides in the certainty of doing evil.
Charles Baudelaire
Beauty is the sole ambition, the exclusive goal of Taste.
Charles Baudelaire
I should like the fields tinged with red, the rivers yellow and the trees painted blue. Nature has no imagination.
Charles Baudelaire
The immense profundity of thought in vulgar locutions, like holes dug by generations of ants.
Charles Baudelaire
An artist is an artist only because of his exquisite sense of beauty, a sense which shows him intoxicating pleasures, but which at the same time implies and contains an equally exquisite sense of all deformities and all disproportion.
Charles Baudelaire
Soon we will plunge ourselves into cold shadows, and all of summer's stunning afternoons will be gone. I already hear the dead thuds of logs below falling on the cobblestones and the lawn.
Charles Baudelaire
A man who drinks only water has a secret to hide from his fellow men.
Charles Baudelaire
I am the vampire at my own veins.
Charles Baudelaire
Il faut travailler sinon par go u t, au moins par de sespoir, puisque, tout bien ve rifie , travailler est moins ennuyeux que s'amuser. We should work: if not by preference, at least out of despair. All things considered, work is less boring than amusement.
Charles Baudelaire
The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music, and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.
Charles Baudelaire
Nations, like families, have great men only in spite of themselves. They do everything in their power not to have any. And therefore, the great man, in order to exist, must possess a force of attack which is greater than the force of resistance developed by millions of people.
Charles Baudelaire
Color... thinks by itself, independently of the object it clothes.
Charles Baudelaire
